Yes, it’s spring in Colorado

When Vail celebrated Lindsey Vonn’s homecoming two days ago, it was a beautiful spring day with shirt-sleeve afternoon temperatures. Then on Thursday a spring storm hit, wreaking havoc on Vail Pass vehicular traffic and blessing the mountains with abundant powder.

While I fought my way over Rabbit Ears Pass Friday to a celebration for Steamboat’s nordic combined Olympic medalists, Vonn got to ski in 11 inches of powder. Sure looks like fun.
